CCA Spotlight Record-Breaking Awareness Month!

We were thrilled to
see so many people recognizing March as Colorectal Cancer
Awareness Month this year. Our website received over 80,000 visitors and our Helpline had over 700 calls. We were featured on Dulcolax packaging in retailers across America, and
highlighted in hundreds of media articles which ran in 44 million newspapers!
We were also proud to partner with fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo and CBS
Healthwatch to spread our message nationwide.

We had an amazingly successful Dress in Blue Day this year! Thank you to everyone who participated. Be sure to check out the pictures and, if you haven’t already, submit your own!

We would
like to hear what you have to say about Dress in Blue Day. Take our brief survey and be entered into a drawing for a $25 Target gift card.

Join Us at the CCA National Conference

"This is a great way to meet other patients and providers
throughout the country. The CCA has developed an agenda of
topics related to all
of the aspects of living with colorectal cancer that are not discussed enough or even at all." - Dr. Jeffrey Meyerhardt

Blue Note Fund & Stars Go Blue a Rockin' Success!

Thanks to
your support, the Blue Note Fund has awarded $31,000 in financial
grants to 104 families! In addition, on March 16, the Stars Go
Blue Benefit Concert raised over
$41,000 for the Blue Note Fund. We were proud to give
the Fund's co-creator Charlie Kelley our 2011
Visionary Award. Check out this video
interview from the
night or read how Charlie is helping the fight against colon cancer in this article from Coping magazine.

Five male physicians at Gastroenterology Associates, PC
(GAPC) in Virginia held a competition titled "Go Shiny to Save a Hiney" to raise money and awareness for colon
cancer. Patients and staff voted for the doctor they’d most
like to see shave his head and “go shiny.” GAPC matched the
funds collected for an impressive $4,000 raised overall!
